    Why don't you try the new Crystal, since it's now owned by your favorite Italian? 🤪😉🤣
  2. Texas Tillie
    The answer is almost always $$$. Expect more of this now that Royal Caribbean pulls the purse strings.
  3. Texas Tillie
    No, they don't. The I stands for Intercontinental!
  4. Texas Tillie
    As Texas as you can get! 💖 Patty

    Time will tell
  6. Texas Tillie
    Don't I recall that during Edie's "reign" there were some TV ads for Crystal? Patty

    I’m much less concerned with the decor than their serving the variety and quality of food we had come to expect at the Bistro. Hint, hint, Portuguese tarts!! Patty

    Agree. Tried it once and decided there was no way I'd want to waste calories on it. Think that must be another Royal Caribbean cost cutting. Patty

    Both Ancestry and 23andme update and make small changes about once a year. Their numbers are similar, but not identical. 23andme has more detail. Their Jewish % is 9.8 vs. 11 for ancestry. Ancestry doesn’t do fractions, so that’s why 23andme has more detail. My most “interesting” is 0.3 Northern India/Pakistan!!! Go figure!! 😵‍💫 Patty

    Yes, and it “counts”, my mother’s mother’s mother. In fact, according to 23andme.com, my haplogroup is K1a1b1a, which is Jewish. Patty

    According to ancestry.com I'm just 11% Jewish, so could you please tell me what that is in the second photo? It's a little "suspicious" looking and I need to know before I put it in my mouth! Patty

    Uber has made an agreement with the Port to pay the fees necessary to access picking up passengers.
  13. Texas Tillie
    No, these days everyone is doing it. Have certainly seen the same from Silversea.

    I'll stay with my original position. Why would Crystal allow people to "game" the program? I'm sure someone will "test" it and let us know.

    Saw a post on Facebook that the art instructors will also be back. All of this is very encouraging. I'm excited about the mushroom soup and the carpaccio. Since Nobu is back, I'm expecting all the goodies there. Patty

    This sounds like a promo for people who have done trips with A&K before.
  17. Texas Tillie
    Why don’t you try doing it and see if it works?! I can’t as I don’t have any certificates as I was either smart enough or lucky enough to use all my outstanding credits with the old Crystal before they went kaput. Patty
  18. Texas Tillie
    I don’t believe Crystal would allow that as a way to “get around” how they are allowing certificates and B2B. You’d also loose the discount allowed for B2B bookings.

    The way I understand it, all cabins have “butlers” but the lower end cabins have “junior butlers”. Guess that means, don’t expect much.
  20. Texas Tillie
    The answers are - no, not a former employee; no, not a current employee; no, no comps (in fact he books the more $$$ suites). Yes, he loves Crystal. Patty

    Other places, as long as there is a place to bathe, a shower, a tub without shower or a tub/shower, it's a full bath. Think I remember reading in California, the shower alone or the tub without a shower is called a 3/4 bath.
  22. Texas Tillie
    I've never understood why people use those third parties. I've never found better rates there. Others must have better luck with them.
  23. Texas Tillie
    Assume the drawers inside the closets will still remain. Since I'm a solo cruisers, that always provided enough space for me, but I do understand why the configuration would concern doubles. Patty
  24. Texas Tillie
    Wonder if we will see more of this since Silversea, Seabourn and Regent are now owned by the Big Boys?
  25. Texas Tillie
    Crystal cruisers would only be so lucky to have Blue Bell on board!! If you had ever tasted the Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla, you'd know I'm right! Patty
